Superstars of Middle East ComicCon 2016

This year’s Middle East Film and Comic Convention (MEFCC, in short) had a star-studded line-up of celebrities and experts from the comic industry. People actually queued up and paid to get autographs or selfies with their favourites. On the other hand, media representatives, including yours truly, had an exclusive interactive session with all these people. Here are a few shots from the event!

The list featured heavyweights including:

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (I didn’t know who he was till I met him; I don’t watch the show – Game of Thrones / Jamie Lannister ring any bells?)

Total legends!! I really love the photos of Summer Glau, they capture her personality so well 🙂 I was so gutted when Firefly was cancelled! So I know you’re an avid reader and thought you’d probably read the Game of Thrones books but have you not seen the show at all? It’s got to be the best televised/filmed adaptation of a book series that I’ve seen! I do wish Terry Brooks Shannara Chronicles had been made as well.

Wasn’t it just?!? I have it all on dvd still 🙂 The GoT books are fantastic! I read the existing ones ages ago and am now one the frustrated readers waiting for the next written installment. Yes, we saw the first series of Shannara which was shown on 5* in the UK but it’s not been done anywhere near as well as GoT sadly 😦 I’m actually reading Brooks very latest book at the moment which is brilliant as ever 😀

Start at the beginning of the series! Should be easy enough to find. Absolutely brilliant 🙂 He’s also done several series that fill in the time between The Word And The Void and the first Shannara books. Genesis, Legends and Paladins of Shannara!

I’m using a, kit lens for now (18 to 105mm) but planning to buy either a 105mm macro or 85mm for portraits. Much sharper than the one I currently have. Also, bump up the ISO a bit to get brighter photos.
